Pamber Priory

The stone church building features a cruciform layout with arches from the crossing period and sections of the original south wall of the nave.

Henry de Port established the priory in 1130 as an extension of the Abbey of Saint Vigor in Cerisy, Normandy, with financial support and church building transfer.

The priory dedication to Holy Trinity, Our Lady, and St John the Baptist demonstrates the religious practices of medieval English ecclesiastical architecture.

The Grade I listed building requires advance contact for visits as it maintains regular religious services and specific opening hours for the public.

King Henry III made multiple visits to the priory between 1255 and 1260, during which extensive construction work transformed the original structure.
